ALICE- Cocteau Twins / Wonderland montage



This is such a gorgeous song.  I love how it captures the wonder & the dark, yet beautiful and divine complexity of imagination and stirs the emotions.  I'm not sure if this song was written with "Alice In Wonderland" in mind per se, but it sure has become a representation of how we now perceive the character of Alice from Lewis Carroll's beloved story books.    I don't even really know what she is singing in the lyrics (suppose I should look them up?  lol) except for the name "Alice", but I choose to feel the song more than anything.  It literally gives me chills and brings me to a state of elation (one of the many benefits of being bipolar, haha).

OK, I looked up the lyrics and they are rather nonsensical.  But really, it's not the lyrics which make this song so powerful, but like I said, the feelings you will undergo just hearing it.  There are several videos made for this song (the most famous being from "The Lovely Bones"), but this one I favor the most.  This video is what captures the essence of it the best, in my opinion.

A Clockwork Orange (my fave quotes)

“We study the problem. We’ve been studying it for damn well near a century, yes, but we get no further with our studies. You’ve got a good home here, good loving parents. You’ve got not too bad of a brain! Is it some devil that crawls inside of you?”  "Then I looked at its top sheet, and there was the name -A CLOCKWORK ORANGE- and I said: 'That's a fair gloopy title. Who ever heard of a clockwork orange?'"  “Choice. The boy has no real choice, has he? Self-interest, the fear of physical pain drove him to that grotesque act of self-abasement. Its insincerity was clearly to be seen. He ceases to be a wrongdoer. He ceases also to be a creature capable of moral choice.”  A lot of idiots you are, selling your own birthright for a saucer of cold porridge! The thrill of theft! Of violence! The urge to live easy! Well, I ask you what is it worth when we have undeniable truth, yes, incontrovertible evidence that Hell exists."  "Excellent. He's enterprising,

Universal truth is infinite and reaches magnificent pillars followed by epiphanies which can occur in the blink of ones eye only after quite some time and searching on your journey through life. That being said, absolute truth can be seemingly and ultimately unattainable in it's totality for humanity as a whole, and is undoubtedly interwoven with lies and misinformation which can easily distract, combat and deceive seekers of peace, knowledge, justice and truth, and of course , this mendacity should be either exposed or refuted to be cast aside and ignored whenever encountered and possible. The wise admit to acknowledging what's right and wrong but never claim to have all the answers, just through hypothesis, knowledge/study, observations, theories, facts, philosophies, art, music, science and a deep, honest desire to disseminate truth and understanding, beauty, and even to grasp the depravity; the overall awareness behind our existence as it is perceived. sensed, felt, se
